There are movies that we love and those we can’t stand. For the actors starring in these films, some are proud of the work they did, while others wish they didn’t sign up for certain projects. Actors of high and low status have regrets about the roles they’ve taken on during the course of their careers. Unfortunately for them, these movies will live on forever to haunt them. Some have openly bashed the films they starred in, while others have taken it in stride and made jokes about their poor choices. However, some of the movies on this list have become cult favorites, like the 2004 Catwoman movie Halle Berry starred in. Critics may have hated it, with a Rotten Tomatoes rating of a low 8%, but it still gained a cult following. While appearing on What What Happens Live in 2017, the actress was asked to rate the movie and while laughing, she says, “100.”

Cult Followings

Another film that has a large cult following is the Twilight film franchise. Robert Pattinson starred as Edward Cullen, the brooding heartthrob vampire of every teenage girl’s fantasies during the late aughts. During the Twilight mania, Pattinson was overwhelmed by the intensity of it all, and his disinterest in the franchise was reflected in his press tour for the films. In a 2019 interview with USA Today, Pattinson revealed he has “very warm memories” since the mania died down. He told the publication, “People come up [to me] and just have very fond memories of it. It’s a really sweet thing. I think the only scary part was right in the thick of it all, when it was very, very intense.” The actor also spoke highly of the film’s soundtrack. He said as he recently watched part of New Moon on TV. “It genuinely does have an incredibly good soundtrack. I completely forgot, but the soundtracks were quite ahead of their time.” The New Moon soundtrack featured artists like Grizzly Bear, Bon Iver & St. Vincent, Lykke Li, Death Cab For Cutie, Muse, and The Killers.
